Hempstead, NY - Hofstra senior Rokas Gustys has been selected for the inaugural Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship in San Antonio on March 30-April 1.

This ground-breaking new event will pit 32 four-man teams representing every Division I college basketball conference against each other in a three-day, 3-on-3 tournament. These teams, comprised of seniors who have exhausted their collegiate eligibility, will compete for a $100,000 prize pool viewable live on Twitter and ESPN2 from Friday, March 30 through Sunday, April 1, 2018 at St. Mary's University's Bill Greehey Arena in San Antonio.

Gustys put together another solid season for Hofstra with averages of 10.5 points and 12.0 rebounds per contest. He ranked second in the CAA in rebounding and third nationally in that category. Gustys totaled 14 double-doubles this season and 48 in his career, including a trio of 20-point/20-rebound efforts in his outstanding career. Gustys ranked first in the CAA in field goal percentage as well. Gustys is only the third player since 1996 to rank in the top five in the nation in rebounding in three straight seasons. He joins Paul Millsap of Louisiana Tech (2003-06) and Kenneth Faried of Morehead State (2008-11) in that exclusive company. 

Gustys concluded his career with 1,184 points to rank 25th all-time in Hofstra history. He certainly left his mark in the rebounding category as his 1,305 career rebounds ranks first all-time in Hofstra's NCAA Division I history and second all-time in CAA history to Hall of Famer David Robinson. 

The Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship will begin on Friday, March 30 with 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 7 p.m.-12:30 a.m. EST and will continue on Saturday, March 31 with another 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. EST.
